Deal between Richmond company and Google could spell future of artificial intelligence

The quest for artificial intelligence has eluded scientists for generations, but Richmond company D-Wave Systems Inc. is helping make the dream a reality. D-Wave recently announced a deal between the company and the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (QuAIL) for the installation of a series of computer systems built by D-Wave. D-Wave systems are specially designed to study theoretical computing systems, using algorithms and software to run theoretical programs and experiments based on experimental theories such as quantum entanglement and A.I. While it might sound like science-fiction, quantum computing represents the bleeding edge of technological innovation. “This deal is a milestone for D–Wave, and demonstrates Google’s continued commitment to exploring the rapidly developing capabilities of D–Wave quantum computing systems,” Muray Thom, Director of Professional Servics at D-Wave told Vancity Buzz. “Moreover…
